End

Well its coming to an end. I can try and stop it all I want but I must acknowledge defeat. Its not even the fact that many people will agree with it. The year is coming to an end.

Blah blah blah its my 130th blog! Hooray!

I know I usually give my lecture on how Christmas is being corrupted but I changed my mind this year about it. The Christians stole it from the Romans. Sure they gave gifts and performed... gay orgies... which was the perfect cover to celebrate Jesus' birthday, one whom never celebrated his birthday as this wasn't the custom of the time. Also there's the obvious fact that Jesus' birthday couldn't have possibly been during the winter.


So the fact that Christmas is being commercialized doesn't bother me. It just goes around.

As you probably know, I don't really follow the Gregorian calendar. Which if you follow it too, isn't even halfway through the year let alone the month of Smarch. So no year end parties for me. Don't bother to invite me cuz I won't go :)

Well I'll probably have more thoughts on this. And yes I promised to talk more about Festivus but I won't. I don't all that approve of Seinfeld and its low moral values.

Solstice

Today is the winter solstice. The sun at noon is directly above the immaginary line called the Tropic of Cancer which is at 33 1/3 degrees south of the equator.

Why should you care? First of all its the shortest day of the year. From now on there's more sunlight. If you're a vampire this means bad news. But if you're a vampire don't worry, soon enough I will put you out of your misery with a stake through your cold barely beating heart. Oh wait, I'm not Blade.

Well anyways I'll warn you ahead of time that Festivus is tomorrow! Hooray! More about it tomorrow!

Changes

Rapid changes are happening to this blog.

First the template has changed. Finally today I put a counter in it. Hopefully I'll see how many actual people read this. Won't that be nice? What's next? An update to the main site? (To date its been ignored since August.) Oh and look my father posted for the first time in forever. I sure hope people read who post what... otherwise those readers with lesser intelligence might think i'm married... heh.

Tell your friends! Now!

Don't forget! Only 3 more days to slack off before doing all your Christmas shopping! So absolutely nothing to worry about.

The Hunt for Red and Green December

Ho..................Ho..................Ho.................. you will shoot your eye out.
Now you know why I wear glasses, not really, the real blame should go to those carrots we ate as kids!

Christmas is now a political thing. Why? It stems from people who do not stand up for their faith and let the rights of stupid political groups get their "equal rights".

Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus, it may not be the time of year he was actually born, but it does fit in with the stores having a lot of toys on their shelves.

Do I want Christmas presents? Of course, but good luck finding something I haven't already bought myself.

Does it matter whether my better half buys me anything? Not at all because it is "our" money but her taste is better.

I have gotten a lot of holiday gifts for around the house all throughout the year. The joy of getting a new toilet or a tool really is nice. I usually figure out what is inside a wrapped gift anyways.

Perhaps a new garage door can count as my gifts for Valentines Day, Groundhogs Day and Fathers Day.

Now if only "Man stuff" could count for my wife's allotment of gifts. It would be like buying her a bowling ball with my name engraved on it.

Tradition

If you've ever seen The Fiddler on the Roof, ok stop snickering my mom made me watch it and it wasn't half bad, you'd know that tradition is a pain in the ass and hurts more than it helps. Plus I had no idea what that fiddler was doing on the roof. Or whose roof it belonged to. But that's not important.

The important thing is how mainstream religion has taken tradition to the point of where its equal to the bible itself. Tradition simply means its been done year after year. There's no opinion implied there. No "we've done it so long you know it must be right!". No whether you want to or not doing something over and over again is called tradition. I call it routine.

Its a shame church is always on Sunday. Due to that I can never go. Though the fact is sometimes I don't want to go. And usually when I do go I sleep through it. Then its like a lame version of Simon Says without any of the skill. Please Rise. Please be seated. Please rise for this hymn. All 12 verses of this hymn. This hymn the organist has no clue how to play and the congregation wouldn't have a clue where to start for the melody. Dang it took me a while to think of the word melody. Guess I won't be a musician. Then again my idol Max Weinberg never uses music.

I have no idea how I got on Max Weinberg but that really doesn't matter anymore. Tradition stinks, do things for you own reasons not because so old guy decided it was fun to do and got stuck in a rut.

XMAS

Ok no more blogathon... it bored me. That and nobody cared. So after all I'll please myself.

So here I am considering to things about when people call Christmas Xmas. Two things. First what's their purpose? Is it they're trying to take the religion out of it? If that's the case that's no problem. Why would I say such a blasphemous thing? Cuz the Christians stole it from the Romans. Its just returning to the sex orgy gift giving holiday it was before. Good for them. Another thing is that when people say gesundheit instead of "God Bless You".

X is the abbreviation they used for Christ is Greek. Its quite funny actually. Also I've heard people relating the X to the cross. But that's just stretching it.

So either way... Go Baby Jesus! You rule!

Witch-hunt

Today is the 4th day of Smarch and I carry on the blogathon with this post.

Today is but a recommendation. Arthur Miller's The Crucible. I think even more now its a very inspirational film and better play.

I'm sure you've read it and seen it like I was forced to in Junior year, but it seems all the much better. Its inspirational to how if faith is taken the wrong way it can ruin lives. Add one lie and greedy landowners... all hell breaks loose and the innocent suffer.

GNECU- Logic 408

Welcome to my third installment of the Smarch blogathon.

Welcome to GNECU's Logic 408 class.
Today we shall discuss the fine line (if any) between intelligence and laziness.

I'm here to prove once and for all they are one in the same. From the beginning of civilization, no matter what story you choose to believe mankind started out in bands. Eventually they figured out how to raise animals, then later agriculture was developed. Is this a sign of intellegence?

Surely it is. But was it in the search of knowledge these things were developed? Surely not! They did it to make life easier! Hence, being lazy.

Why do people nowadays use neumatic nailing guns instead of a hammer? Laziness!

Sure it took considerable effort to cut the effort of nailing down. They had schematics to develop, safety concerns, and the process of making the machines to make the machine itself. Considerable effort to make life eventually easier.

Why was the bicycle invented? The cart? The wagon? The automobile? The jetplane? All laziness.

However there is proof that not all intelligence is brought upon to make life easier. Why was the rocket ship invented? Cuz its just too cool. Does it make life any easier? Of course not.

So therefore we establish that there is a line between laziness and intelligence. Just that unlike most things in life, this line is pretty well defined.

Think

Hey the second day of Smarch is gone. Sorry folks. But this will still be the second in my series so we'll pretend this was posted yesterday. Cool? Cool.

Well here I am thinking about what I'm gonna blog. Kept putting it off I couldn't think of anything. So why not make it about my favorite pasttime... thinking!

What's great about thinking? Its so easy! Not only that if you focus hard enough you can escape reality. Which in minor doses is a great method. Too much and you're coo coo bananas.

So what do I think about? My novel mostly. Today the first chapter popped into my head. Can't wait til finals are over so I can jot it down. Another thing is the mysteries of life. Or other random junk. Its real fun. It also helps work bareable!

So yeah that's my second blog for the second day of Smarch!

Meaning

The first of the Smarch Series

Before I begin let there be a moment of silence in memory for the Attack on Pearl Harbor 65 years ago.

Thank you for your consideration. Now I will tell you want you wish to know... the meaning of life.

First I will begin with how the most popular conceptions are wrong.

Theory One: "The meaning of life is to become wealthy."
Wrong! You begin life with nothing. You end life with nothing. Sorry but unless you're a firm believer in the old Egyptian religion, no faiths believe you take anything with you when you die.

Theory Two: "The meaning of life is to have a family."
Close... I'm sure life would move on if everyone didn't have a family. I mean world populations are going up. A couple people deciding to never settle down won't hurt things. Then again it is one of the ways of immortality by producing children. Then again to that very same point the bonds of marriage aren't necessary to populate the world. ;)

Crackpot Theory Three: "The meaning of life is to be God's pincushion."
Right on! You very existance is for God's entertainment. Worship him or be smited by him it matters very little. Why do you think reality TV is so popular? This is playing God more than messing with science and creating super monkeys. Why else is Improv so popular? Scripted stories just aren't entertaining. And with all kinds of people of different walks of life in the world... that episode of South Park where all the peoples on Earth bringing all together to be a TV show doesn't sound all that far fetched.

1 for 1 in Smarch! :)

Eve

The dawning of Smarch is upon us. Tomorrow marks the first day of the longest month of the Guentherian calendar. As such I'll attempt to blog every single day (that's right all 45 days) with some coherent well-thought out ideas. Or just throw together some monkey junk.

Either way it will be a month and a half to remember. Man I hate the Gregorian calendar and its weird number of days per month.

So what's coming up first? Tomorrow I'll tell you the meaning of life.

Greetings

Are the people that are in this heated debate on the debate whether a company should say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays?"

There are many things to consider. First Christmas is an official American holiday. Last time I checked Chanukah and Kwanza weren't. Sure even the first people to colonize were Christian.

I'm all for nonfavortism toward any specific holiday. Though I wonder why are they all within the same week? Seems almost like their were looking for a debate. I mean Chanukah was there first. Jesus is very unlikely to have been born in December. Kwanaza is less than 100 years old and still people have no clue what it means.

So should they say "Merry Christmas?" If they don't should we boycott their stores? Afterall it is their fault for commercializing the holiday. Then again Christmas was stolen from the Romans along with traditional gift giving. Seems only fair. There's no need to boycott something so trivial.

As Leela once said "Society will never expand as a whole unless we all pretend to like each other." So here's to a happy holiday whatever you believe in. With absolutely no "haha I'm right and you're going to hell".
